Dilute 3 Drops of Oregano Oil with Water and SEE What Happens to Your Lungs and Airways

People who have allergies to things such as pollen or pet fur know how irritating it is to have to breath through congested nostrils and an itchy throat. However, you don’t have to have a rare or specific allergy to experience these same fits of congestion.

Have you ever had a stuffy nose or itchy throat for seemingly no reason? This is because there are many different pollutants and particles floating in the air that we unknowingly inhale on a daily basis that cause these reactions. Thankfully, there is a natural remedy to this congestion that you probably already have in your pantry. But first, lets take a deeper look at what causes your airways to swell up.

What is Histamine?

Histamine is the body’s natural response to allergens. Although you may think “allergens” only effect people who have allergies to thinks like peanuts and pet fur, there are many allergens out there that cause histamine reactions in majority of people. These can include dust, mold, cigarette smoke and even chemicals from cleaning products.

Your immune system releases histamine in the cells located in the lungs and nose whenever you inhale an allergen. Histamine then attaches to the receptors of nearby blood vessels causing them to dilate and enlarge. It also binds to receptors found in the tissue of the nose, which is what causes the redness, swelling and itching that many people experience.

Antihistamines

In response to the general discomfort that these histamine reactions cause, people often look towards medication to help them. These can range from steroids to allergy shots, but one of the most common medications used to treat these reactions are antihistamines. These are drugs that reduce or block the release of histamine, which usually stops allergic reactions fairly effectively.

However, despite the fact that they are able to rid you of your allergenic symptoms, they often provide you with a whole new set of side effects that you will experience when taking antihistamines. Here are some of them:

Dry mouth

Drowsiness

Dizziness

Nausea and vomiting

Restlessness or moodiness (in some children)

Trouble urinating or not being able to urinate

Blurred vision

Confusion

With all of these side effects, I wonder how many people are buying more drugs to help them cope with their antihistamines. Thankfully, there is a readily available, natural antihistamine that does not come along with all of these unpleasant side effects.
